Indigenous Activists Demand Investigation Into Police Shooting of Zapotec Teen with BB Gun
On 7/28/21 at 12:21 AM EDT
Indigenous activist groups have demanded that the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) investigate the July 16 shooting death of Gerardo Chávez Martínez, a 19-year-old Zapotec. The Zapotecs are one of Mexico s indigenous groups.
Martinez reportedly had a BB gun on him and may not have understood the police s Spanish commands when officers in Salinas City, California shot and killed him.
On July 16 at 8:01 p.m. local time, Salinas City police received a call from a neighbor who said that Martínez had pointed a gun at him. The neighbor said the gun might be a BB gun, but added that it could also be a small-caliber pistol, the police department said in a statement.

The budget that was presented at our last city council meeting is a paradigm shift, is an invitation for change, Councilmember Carla González said. We can continue to demystify what we mean when we talk about investing in communities. Equity is not a threat to public safety.
It seems that regardless of what side of the political spectrum people fell on, there were aspects of the budget that the public and council disagreed on.
For weeks, the city has debated an increase in the police budget. On Tuesday, after nearly five hours of public comment and discussion, Councilmember Christie Cromeenes made a motion to add back $1.39 million into the police budget, therefore not freezing five positions or reducing supplies and services.
